Poetry for me is a way of living, it comes out of nowhere and I have to write it down. How I write, what I write, I decide. I am not asking you to be judgemental. I am gifted with the ability to see beyond the obvious.

tell tale winds

opening my notebook, I sat down with a few pencils(I hate writing with pens)all those grandeur ideas encircling until thenran away from meinto the spooky night(what else can one call it when winds keep howling?)I could hear themwhispering to each otherthat I was a shammy words were stolencoming from far and wideI ought to confess it hereto all and sundrythat I swapped ideaswith ghosts of the nether worldso much for tactile spirits

"I could hear themwhispering to each otherthat I was a shammy words were stolencoming from far and wide"That hit me where I live. So often when I start to write there is a little voice that says that everything good has already been said better by someone else - I always have to tell it to just SHUT UP. Do others feel that way? Your poem makes me think maybe they do!

About Me

For someone who teaches mathematics, poetry comes easy. There are so many aspects about myself that are unknown even to me. Poetry is way to explore myself. Where it will lead me, I don't know. I don't want to know. I thrive on the unknown.
